Dr. Jeff Meldrum to discuss Bigfoot, search for relict hominoids


Jeff Meldrum, professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, and self professed colleague of alleged Bigfoot hoaxer Todd Standing, will be making two presentations in April.

Dr. Meldrum will make two presentations at the National Oregon/California Trail Center in historic Montpelier the evenings of April 14 and 15.

Meldrum's first presentation on Friday, April 14, at 7:30 p.m.is titled, “Sasquatch and Other Wildmen: the Search for Relict Hominoids."

He discusses the shifting attitude of science towards the prospects of cryptic man-like species, such as sasquatch, yeti, orang pendek, surviving into the present alongside humans in various remote corners of the globe.

Author of the book, “Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science,” Meldrum will hold a book signing beginning at 6 p.m. April 14 in the lobby of the center.

On Saturday, April 15, his second presentation is titled, “50 Years of the Patterson-Gimlin Film.”

The year 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of this most compelling and controversial film footage depicting what alleges to be a Bigfoot in northern California. Novel methods of analysis and contemporary scientific perspectives shed new light on the credibility of this now iconic film.

Meldrum will discuss his findings and their implications. He will be available from 1 to 7 p.m. April 15 for questions and book signing prior to the presentation at 7:30 p.m.

Admission for each event is $10. For additional information contact the Center at 208-847-3800.
